or a tiny water bottle?

can you just send a smaller drink? Does it have to be a water bottle?

Yes, it would annoy me. Everyone should have one package they need handed out. If each child brings one package plus a container of water, then that just DOUBLED my work and the time it takes.

Or use a baggy? The lunchbox my dd picked it is rather small too, and getting a water bottle in there is a challenge. However, I am sure that if I put it separately, she will forget. They don't get a lot of opportunity to drink water, so I want to make sure she gets water with her lunch.

OP here. There's no room for it. The storage container I chose is too big and it takes up the entire lunchbox.

How about a smaller storage container?
